Parents need to know that this sitcom focuses on an adult mother-daughter relationship that evolves while both attend college at the same time. Both women are strong and self-confident, but they focus more on finding boyfriends and husbands than on their actual grades. Nikki often manipulates situations to get her way, especially with men. Parents also need to know that both women, who are full-figured, present very body-positive messages. That said, some of those messages come along with some strong sexual innuendo.
